SO DISAPPOINTING :( I WANTED to like it but...

It looked promising at first but then... the story was just so lacking?
It felt like the climax never hit? Just some sorts of problems here and there, and the couple (note, I love the actors separately) but the CHARACTERS they had to play just didn't FIT.

The dude seemed so mature and the girl seemed SOOO childish - like - it would have been a cute college love but just didn't fit together.

I just think as a couple they didn't really match well or mesh well - parts seemed awkward and almost too cringey. Uncle + Niece vibes were WAY more accurate.

I also loved the side loves/stories so much more - humor was there though. I truly did laugh a lot but I was NOT interested in the PLOT at all. I literally whizzed/skimmed through it to just find out the ending results etc.

The antagonists of the stories were also just meh and were solved so quickly - like no effort put in.

Overall, wouldn't watch again but still glad I did bc I know now. Wouldn't really recommend if you find your time precious but the main actor + 2nd leads were such eye candies.

Didn't watch first season? NO PROBLEM!!

BETTER THAN SEASON ONE!

Although this does have romance, the main focus isn't about it!

From the beginning of the first episode, it is filled with action, amazing humor, and amazing cast of characters!!

Really goes into details about the brotherly bond, friendships, and overall integrity of the whole theme!!

Great storyline as well, really could watch this season on its own~ But really makes you fall more in love with the mains from the last season. All the sides stories were heart wrenching and even the villians were entertaining and really played their part!

Also the music + songs were top tier !! Really got you in the moments of justice, sadness, and excitement!

A very enjoyable drama - whether you watched the first season or NOT! Recommend!

ABSOLUTELY LOVED! Lowkey underrated?

Honestly, this drama sort of took me by surprise - I originally wanted to watch it because of the main cast and I love the male lead but man... I actually really did not care for the romance AT ALL.

Also, they did a GREAT job of keeping you on your toes until the LAST episode - I feel like other dramas by like 14/15 they slow down and show all the happy ever afters...

Instead, I was so focused on the rivalry between the main character and the antagonist!! (MAJOR props to his acting - the father specifically, absolutely astounding and portrayed his character with such amazing display of pride, power, and intelligence)!!

I knew it would be a revenge story but MAN just some of the plot twists really had my JAW dropped and angry, sad yet hopeful and another ride of emotions - except this was to an extreme. Some things, I don't know if others saw it coming but I was just like??? how people were related and at times I really thought "good" characters were BAD but ended up being "good" LOL

I also LOVE a story that just has a strong female protagonist - it's not as often as male ones and just loved the drive and pressure felt throughout!!

Also overall, I think the cast were perfect! Each and everyone played such good roles suited to their aesthetic, character, and attributes. You could really see the professionalism, patience, and corruptness of each and everyone - I can't stop raving about the casting.

It's been a while since I've been addicted to a drama and the cliff hangers left me wanting more. Would recommend, especially if you love a GOOD revenge and an EARNED one!

I don't understand HOW this drama got the rating it did...

IDK How it got the ratings it got... ABSOULUTELY BORING.

Literally the chemistry was sooo MEH between the two main leads.

I also think the casting was absolutely so poor.

I get the type of characters they had to play too - the rough male lead and the kind hard working female but for some reason they just didn't really mesh well together...

The storyline could have been good but basically just felt like a trauma bond was formed and there wasn't really much pulling and pushing... it just sort of happened?

I think the concept could have been used better but overall it was so heavily revolved around the incident - which makes sense and understandable but I just couldn't really grasp and fall in love with it.

Love the 2nd lead and how the romance COULD have occurred but just sort of flat out died LOL...

I wouldn't really recommend but I mean at least I was able to watch it and have an opinion on it :(

Lighthearted comedy!! With a pretty decent plot!!

A fun and humorous saguk styled drama!

Definitely contained some good plot points - but had way more potential to have had a better storyline. The ending was okay - it was good but could have been better of course; especially with the condition of how the enemies were handled (some portions were just too dark etc).

Love love the cast - Taecyeon & Hyeyoon are such both wonderful actors!
Will definitely give such big credits to the villian - son; Lee Jae Kyoon did a fantastic job!!!
All of the support characters were hilarious and wholesome as well~

Overall, a good, light-hearty watch!

A CLASSIC - MUST WATCH MELODRAMA!

LET ME PERHAPS try to clear up some confusion / misconceptions about this drama!

First and foremost, their childhood:

I think I understand a lot of people's perceptions on how weird their brother/sister relationship was HOWEVER - please note they were CHILDREN and you really have to see it from a different perspective.

I think the love that Joonsuh had for Eunsuh was way more innocent than people think (like they had an amazing sibling relationship, with a lot respect, care, and bondness (or jeong/jung) between each other - in Korean there is a term called "JUNG" or "JEONG"; in English it directly means affection but it's a little more in depth than that.
I know some scenes were odd - like where he talks about how he likes someone blah blah; but I think he just meant to say that to tease her but at the same time genuinely did "love" her or have affection for her as sister. He just really was the overprotective brother.
BUT to each their own - I did think their affection for each other was more so innocent / naive and really didn't start blooming into something unhealthy until right after they were separated.

When they got separated; it sort of built a trauma bond between them (?) They were torn apart and it was just such a heavy blow for both of them. I especially think for Eunsuh - it made her miss not just her brother but her whole family and sort of formed a trauma love around him. Same for him since he had to just adopt a new "sister" back into his life.

Overall, WOULD RECOMMEND!! Such a heart wrenching and loving story. I honestly love Eunsuh - she played such a TRUE main girl as the good hearted/poor character which was the THEME back then.

Give it a shot!! They don't make it like this anymore :')

An extremely light drama!

Not particularly my choice of recommendation but perfect to leave something in the background while doing other things.

Really simple / easy to follow - cute/humorous!

Loved the acting from everyone - super adorable - especially the two ML's! Loved Ahn Hyo Seop's naive / foreign acting ~
While this was my first time seeing Cha Eun Woo act as an idol (even though he was one prior - never have seen him as I only have seen him as an actor/in dramas).

The main female lead was cute but I did think her stature/posture made the drama a little awkward for some scenes etc.

Not much really else to add? Just watch if you want to enjoy a cutesy light hearted drama in the background!

SO MANY EMOTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am more of a kdrama person but I will watch a few movies here and there~

Honestly, this movie has SUCH a great storyline, profound meaning, yet includes shallow humor!! It did an AMAZING job of just being SO REAL (realistic in terms of life and just how relatable situations could be).

Acting was hilarious and absolutely portrayed their characters remarkably!

This was such a HUGE roller coaster of emotions of anger, sadness, happiness, butterflies, humor, and just again - ah yes this is life, this type of stuff actually happens.

Just being able to relate to how important timing is, how words/actions can really alter and be life changing, and things just don't always go as planned (in fact, almost never as planned).

Without spoiling, I think the ending was bittersweet.

AND FOR THOSE SAYING THE FL WAS SO SELFISH - nahhh BE SO FOR REAL. She had made the right choice of high self respect/value. (EVEN if I wanted a different ending and agree with many of you).

She had to do what she had to do, bc of her past too remember. In the end, they both bloomed from their tenure of a relationship and honestly, I could see why it ended the way it did...

But I did LOVE the ML... he did an AMAZING job of "I want my man too look at me the way he does" type LOL!!

Overall, would totally recommend this movie!! Great storyline, acting, and really found myself laughing a lot!!

pity party? :(((

SUCH POTENTIAL :(

It started off so alluring and thrilling! It really captivated me with the plot and how things were going to turn out!

However, with it being a bit of an older / longer drama (about 20 episodes), it started to draggg towards the front mid of the series.

I think the main antagonist really made it worthwhile to watch - great acting and just truly stuck to his character.

I actually loved the initial female lead - I think she had such a unique look and actually did a phenomenal job of portraying her character! The main male lead matched his character of his gentle demeanor ~

I think the middle got sort of boring... The way they fell in love almost felt like a pity party and I don't know... just was meh...

The ending was also anti-climatic? Overall, it had potential but just sort of got washed up...

Wouldn't necessarily recommend but if you're like me trying to watch whatever and any dramas - would watch once just to have something in the background.

AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT DID NOT LIKE IT???

Honestly, I feel like I enjoyed the sub-characters' stories so much more... -_-

I feel like there was not really much of a build up between the two main leads and I learned so much more about France than the leads' love story.......

I will say it had great POTENTIAL to be really interesting - I did enjoy how each "couple" showed different types of struggle of love and was interested in seeing their outcomes but for the main characters... it just felt super sped up and not much of romance storyline? I also understand they were on a trip and it happened so fast but... just wasn't really fun.

They also did a great job of making the audience "assume" things and really giving good plot twists (especially with Yoon Park and Park You Na's situations)!

I also love Jong Yong Hwa but he seemed so derpy in this drama LOL (I mean was still cute but yeah)

Overall - my goal is to watch through all the dramas and their episodes LOL but this is nothing something I would take the time to rewatch.

UNDERRATED!!!

Super intriguing storyline and interesting how everything ties in and comes together!!

LOVED the entire character development of whether it was the leads and or the antagonists~

The cast were seriously perfectly chosen for each of their roles and I ESPECIALLY loved one of the "antagonists" from the beginning - No Tae Nam kdajf;lsakdjf!!

Not too much romance but just the PERFECT splash - both showed great professionalism for the storyline and overall their job roles.

Even the side characters/stories were humorous to watch as well.

Aside from the plot - actually has some action scenes which were really cool and unexpected. Loved the tussle and struggles for power, politics, and justice. Seriously, everyone's acting was superb!!

In addition - really touches on the injustice system within the military which you don't know about / see everyday.

Overall, I really recommend this as a good watch!

FUNNY!

HONESTLY, for a drama that's a decade old - NOT BAD at all!

Loved the dynamic of the main leads - absolutely outgoing of both characters and just a lot of fun!

The antagonists were great too - and had unique chemistry between all the family members.

Definitely had a dark side to this drama as well - but overall the concept of revenge, justice, and romance was great!

Definitely felt a little draggy since they had 21 episodes~ but was entertaining and humorous in each episode!

Overall a not bad watch - but wouldn't spend the time to rewatch!
